There will be no history-making title defense for flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson on Saturday.
MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reported that Ray Borg has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 215 main event vs. Johnson. According to the report, “Borg has been battling an illness this week and was deemed unfit to fight by UFC doctors.” While details on his illness are unknown, it should be noted that Borg has had a history of weight-cutting issues, having failed to make weight in two of his last four fights.
Currently, it looks as if the UFC is going to reschedule this matchup for another event.
